Can anyone recommend the best model of the above in 20mm? I am planning to add a couple to my 1944 German infantry |

If you are into plastics, the Pegasus kit might be worth checking out (comes with two crews of four, first crew with regular uniforms and second with smocks): link HäT makes a simpler plastic version (comes with a crew of four wearing smocks): link Zvezda also made their version in plastic (comes with a crew of two): link |

Excellent. Thanks very much. Would a Protze be a suitable towing vehicle? |

In case of infantry regiments, the usual towing vehicle would rather be a limber drawn by two horses. In case of motorised formations, a light truck (capable of transporting the crew of six) would be a typical towing vehicle. |

I have the Valiant one in 1/72 – very nice little gun link |

Love the references. Thanks, chaps. Did not know of Valiant at all. |

I use and recommend Shell Hole Scenics for the IG, they have the spoked wagon wheel type and the pressed metal wheel. A Krupp Boxer, Type 69 is an ideal tow unit for 39-41 as well as the SdKfz 10, in use all war. The Krupp Boxer from First to Fight and the SdKfz 10 from Mk 72 or Ceasar. |

As for motorised transport, I managed to find this pre-war / early war TOE for a motorcycle reconnaissance battalion: PDF link Which lists Kfz.69 light truck (Krupp Protze) as the towing vehicle for 7.5 cm infantry guns and 3.7 cm anti-tank guns. I am not sure how many Krupp Protze there were left in service in 1944, considering that their production ended in 1941. |

I use the old Skytrex/Hinchcliffe one |
